Low driving field-induced large strain in ternary lead-free Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-SrTiO3-ABO3 piezoceramics In this letter, three ternary lead-free Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-SrTiO3-ABO3 piezoceramics (ABO3 = LiNbO3, BaZrO3, and LaFeO3) were studied. The addition of ABO3 into Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-SrTiO3 ceramic induces a ferroelectric tetragonal-to-ergodic relaxor pseudocubic phase transition, resulting in the significant disruption of ferroelectric order with the shift of the ferroelectric-relaxor transition temperature down to below room temperature. The conventional furnace sintering and microwave sintering methods are conducted in this study to improve the electric field-induced strain properties of BNST-LN piezoceramic. Interestingly, the Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3-SrTiO3-LiNbO3 sample sintered via microwave sinter... |
The molecular dynamics simulations have been carried out to investigate the mechanical behaviors of amorphous silicon nitride under the uniaxial tensile deformation. The amorphous silicon nitride was obtained by the cooling process. The network structure of the sample consists of SiNx (x = 3, 4 and 5) units and NSiy (y = 2, 3 and 4) linkages. The stress-strain curve of the sample exhibits the elastic and plastic deformation. The Si-N bond lengths are stretched out in the elastic region and the plastic region I. They are shrunk to the initial state in the plastic region II due to the appearance of the large clusters which contain the overlapping big simplexes with the RS ≥ 2.4 Å. These... |
Multiphase Al2O3 samples are simulated using molecular dynamics method. These samples consist of γ-Al2O3 and α-Al2O3 crystals embedded in a disordered phase matrix. The stress–strain curves of these samples show elastic and plastic deformation. Structural analysis indicates that the AlO bond lengths are stretched and the geometries of the AlOx (x = 4, 5, and 6) units are distorted during tensile deformation. AlO bond breakage causes the transformation of AlOx units; AlO4 increases while AlO6 decreases with increasing strain. The γ-Al2O3 and α-Al2O3 crystals transfer into the disordered phase, while a small number of atoms recrystallize under tensile loads. In plastic deformation, la... |
